Yeah, the bit where the owner is bragging about “beating” other water-park operators really does read like a Trump quote. “You are now being bested by a guy in Kansas. Not even Texas, okay — Kansas is number one.”

No, you’re right - and I’m as sick of him as anybody. But that’s nevertheless what I thought about. More relevant, maybe, is that I think the attitudes these waterpark guys exude throughout this document are allied somehow with the national failings that led to Trump’s election.

All I could think while reading this is: from the incompetence to the unearned self-assurance to the foot-shooting coverups to the threatening lawyers, the Trump gang is just these guys writ large.

The good news is I, like most people, have no idea what the fuck a pop team epic is, so we’ll just spend $850mm watching this movie. SORRY TO RUIN YOUR FUN TWICE.

Oh great. Given what dreary misanthropic slog the first season ultimately proved to be, I can only imagine what ‘ramping up the drama’ means in such a context. Expect the brutality of humans and robots to rise - more murdered children, more violently assaulted women, more exploding melon heads, more heavy-handed

I got to the bookstore early and bought my copy, then went and got a coffee down the street, read the book for a bit. When I saw a line start to form I went and joined it, and they eventually let us inside and sent us down to the basement where there were rows of folding chairs set up, so we sat. I still thought

I went to Bruce Campbell’s book signing for If Chins Could Kill, and he told us stories about the movie business. He talked about how elevator pitches were just out of hand when he heard “It’s like Die Hard in an office building.” Uhhh...

Nixon, who is 51, has never held public office before—not that that really matters in a post-Trump world.

So, harassment and prejudice are gone forever? Good to know. Regardless of the law of the land, people can still go out of their way to make you miserable on the job, leaving you out of emails accidentally, giving you partial information, leaving you completely absolutely alone. Neighborhood harassment is gone, so

Can we call the ashen weasel what he really is? He’s an anti-gay bigot.

Or because Pence’s personal beliefs have more in common with someone who lived in the mid 19th century?

Absolutely Uplifting that there are people like John Oliver in this world. Maybe America heart is still good...

The guy calls his wife “mother.” He’s creepy and weird.

YESYESYESYES THANK YOU NBC.

I watched a few eps of the revival. It’s not bad.

You forgot to add what Freeman’s really pissed off about:

Sherlock was never that good to begin with. I will fight on this.

Is it a laugh track? Because I swear in some episodes you can hear someone stifling giggles in the lead up to the punch line or snort laughing, and why would they leave that in?! (And maybe I just want to believe...)

This show was utterly tone deaf and misses the point altogether.
